Case filed against Salman Khan, 'Love Yatri' team in Bihar
Patna, Sep 22: A case has been lodged against Bollywood actor-producer Salman Khan and others associated with his upcoming home production "Love Yatri", which was earlier titled "Loveratri", in Bihar's Muzaffarpur district following the order of the local court, police said on Saturday.
"An FIR was lodged on Friday against Salman Khan and six others including Aayush Sharma, Warina Hussain, director Abhiraj K. Minawala, Ram Kapoor and Ronit Roy in Mithanpura police station following the order of the court," police station officer in-charge Vijay Prasad Rai told IANS.
Rai said that the case was lodged against Salman and others in pursuance of an order passed by the court of Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate last week.
The court has passed the order on the complaint of an advocate Sudhir Kumar Ojha.
In the complaint, Ojha has claimed that the title of the movie made fun of the holy festival of Navratri. He also alleged that the promos of the movie suggested that it contained vulgarity and could hurt the sentiments of Hindus.
"I am happy that a case has been lodged against Salman and others for playing with a popular festival and sentiments of people," Ojha said.
Earlier this week, Salman had announced on Twitter that the movie's title has been changed from "Loveratri" to "Love Yatri". The film is slated to open on October 5.

10 Naxalites killed in encounter with security personnel in Chhattisgarh’s Sukma district
Sukma (PTI): Ten Naxalites were killed in an encounter with security personnel in Chhattisgarh’s Sukma district on Friday, a senior police official said.
The gunfight broke out in the morning in a forest within the jurisdiction of the Bhejji police station when a joint team of security personnel was out on an anti-Naxalite operation, said Inspector General of Police (Bastar Range) Sundarraj P.
The operation was launched based on inputs about the presence of Maoists belonging to Konta and Kistaram area committees of Naxalites on forested hills of Korajguda, Dantespuram, Nagaram and Bhandarpadar villages, he said.
Bodies of 10 Naxalites have been recovered from the spot so far, he said.
Besides, a cache of weapons, including an INSAS rifle, an AK-47 rifle and a Self Loading Rifle (SLR), were also seized, he said.
The search operation by the District Reserve Guard (DRG) and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) is still underway in the area, he added.
With this incident, bodies of 207 Naxalites have been recovered so far this year following separate encounters in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar region comprising seven districts, including Sukma, police said.
